Scott was gratious enough to give me a beer from his advent calendar pack, so I thought I should really put it on here. Something Something Dark Side from the Weird Beard Brew Co suprised me at first. Reading the label it calls itself a “strong hoppy IPA” so I was expecting a drink far lighter than the picture above shows. From the colour i’d guess at a porter/stout. It also had a citrus smell, much like a Punk IPA to begin with but that seemed to fade quite quickly. To begin with I couldn’t put my finger on the taste. There was an element of chocolate but the main taste still eludes me but it has a deep rich taste. After consulting the bottle it contains chocolate malt and roasted barley. Its rather drinkable, put maybe not one you would want too many of. And there would be a reason for that, I didn’t notice till I was writing this but its 9.4%! Also it has an awesome bottle cap
